Eggs cooked this way are something special — the whites come out just set and opaque while the yolks stay thick, warm, and gloriously jammy in a way that's nearly impossible to nail on the stovetop. The immersion circulator does all the precision work for you, holding the water at exactly 167°F so every egg turns out consistent and perfect. Since the whole recipe relies on nothing but eggs, salt, pepper, and optional toast with butter, there's zero concern about hidden spice blends or anti-inflammatory additives sneaking in. For anyone avoiding turmeric — whether due to sensitivity, medication interactions, or personal preference — eggs are one of those ingredients that can sometimes show up pre-seasoned or in restaurant dishes with golden spice blends already mixed in. Here, you're fully in control of every element. Finished with a crack of black pepper and a shower of flaky sea salt, these eggs are simple enough for a quiet weekday breakfast but impressive enough to serve to guests.

Fill a large pot or container with water and attach the immersion circulator. Set the temperature to 167°F (75°C) and allow the water to come fully up to temperature.
Gently lower the eggs (still in their shells) into the water bath using a slotted spoon. Cook for 13 minutes — at this time and temperature the whites will be just set and opaque throughout, and the yolks will be warm, thick, and jammy.
